Term 2 Week 7

Wednesday 7th June 2023

HOUSE MUFTI DAY: Dress in house colours on Friday 9th June. Please bring a gold coin donation for the ‘Move Your Butt’ fundraiser. All funds raised go towards bowel cancer awareness, research and patient support services.

Teachers ‘Move It, Move It’ in assembly as part of the introduction to ‘Move Your Butt’ month. On Friday we will have some fun house activities for everyone to be involved in.

CONGRATULATIONS and well done to the Year 5 & 6 Rippa team who won their pool games last week at Stratford Primary School. They then went on to win the semi finals but then narrowly lost 7-6 in the finals. They have now qualified to play in the ‘Champion of Champions’ games at Yarrows Stadium on Monday 26th June.

Thankyou to Simon, Hayden & Gareth for the coaching of their team.

Jones Cup: Jones Cup is a cluster schools event and is an opportunity for all children in years 5 -8 to participate in team sport, either netball or rugby. Games are played at Toko School with the winning teams securing the ‘Jones Cup’ and bragging rights for the year. Teams will be practising at school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 12 noon until match day which is 19th June. Thankyou to the parents who are able to either coach a team during the week and / or supervise on the day.

Children will be travelling to Toko by bus on the day. More details next week.

A huge “thank you” once again to Canter for Cancer who have very generously donated some more calf, lamb and dog covers to the school.

Make sure you check out their website and/or facebook page. They have some pretty neat stuff for sale from leather bags, animal covers (including horse), clothing and much more.

A portion of sales go to the Child Cancer foundation.

STUDENT ABSENCES

A friendly reminder, if you child is going to be away from school, could you please let the school know. With the Ministry of Education cracking down on Truancy, the school is required to provide an reason as to why your child is absent.

This can be done either by:

Telephone (06) 764 8643
email: office@ngaere.school.nz, or
the skool loop app. Information on the app is noted further on in the newsletter.

Thank you.
